Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 243

24201

```

God’s Will

Sings and dances

Only in an obedience-heart.

```

24202

```

My heart-dreams

Are flooded

With celestial smiles.

```

24203

```

I shall pave my gratitude-heart-road

With my prayerful

And soulful tears.

```

24204

```

God-disobedience

Empties spirituality

Of its richness.

```

24205

```

Time and again

God has proved to us

That Forgiveness He has made

As His own iron Law. ```

24206

```

Everything has to be attempted

At God’s choice Hour,

And everything has to be accomplished

At God’s choice Hour

In the world of spirituality.

```

24207

```

My soul every day

Patrols my heart-highway.

Therefore, I see no collisions.

```

24208

```

O my mind,

Why do you visit

So frequently

Suspicion-town? ```

24209

```

When we have

A free access to inner realities,

We see that for every negative

There is, indeed, a positive. ```

24210

```

Because a special Grace has descended

From Above,

At long last I am able to compel

My absurdly overactive mind

To leave me.

```

24211

```

Unfortunately

Each human being

Lives somewhere between

His highest height

And his lowest depth.

```

24212

```

Every morning I prayerfully

And soulfully meditate

So that I do not descend

From my highest summit

To the abysmal abyss.

```

24213

```

There is not a single ego

That will not eventually

Become a victim to ridicule.

```

24214

```

When our heart

Has abundant receptivity,

We see how proudly

God extols our life

To the skies.

```

24215

```

What is a soulful smile?

A soulful smile

Is the inexhaustible Power

Of God Himself. ```

24216

```

Because I have developed

Implicit faith in God’s Grace,

At last I have dethroned

My life’s deception-king:

Doubt.

```

24217

```

When we dive deep within,

God blesses us

With a free access

To the sunlit eye of our soul. ```

24218

```

Nothing can be as divine,

As supreme, as perfect

As the heart-fragrance

Of Mother Earth. ```

24219

```

When we are in the desire-world,

We enjoy earth-bound pleasures.

When we are in the aspiration-world,

We enjoy Heaven-free Nectar-Delight. ```

24220

```

A genuine truth-seeker

Is automatically

A certified and qualified God-lover.

```

24221

```

My unending surrender

Is my escalator

To my Lord’s Delight-Floor.

```

24222

```

Do not play in your jungle-mind.

Play in your heart-garden

If you want to swim

In the river of ecstasy. ```

24223

```

The impurity of the vital,

The jealousy of the mind

And the insecurity of the heart

Are three eternal fools in us. ```

24224

```

Outer trust

Is, indeed, a clumsy substitute

For inner faith.

```

24225

```

How I wish

My life to be a leaf

Driven by my Lord’s own Breath.

```

24226

```

Unlike us,

God thinks His creation is perfect.

But He wants to make His creation

Even more perfect. ```

24227

```

What God dislikes

More than anything else

Is my constant

Unwillingness-mind. ```

24228

```

We can easily climb up

To ecstasy’s height

If God-obedience

Is always at our disposal. ```

24229

```

My cheerful obedience

Unmistakably inspires

My Lord Supreme.

```

24230

```

Every day

My aspiration-heart

Remains nestled

In the foothills

Of my Lord’s universal Will.

```

24231

```

Earth-evolution is far from finished.

Therefore

There is no need for us

To be doomed to disappointment. ```

24232

```

My aspiration-life

Pleases God.

My desire-life

Amuses God. ```

24233

```

God tries to lead man

Compassionately.

Man tries to mislead God

Cleverly. ```

24234

```

A reasoning mind

Can never be the last word

In our aspiration-world.

```

24235

```

Every day

God gives us not only the capacity

But also the opportunity

To live in the magnetic field of faith. ```

24236

```

My surrender-heart-choice

Is by far the best choice

That I have ever made.

```

24237

```

We are bound to succeed

In the battlefield of life

If we have zero tolerance

For self-doubt. ```

24238

```

God is truly proud of me

When I show Him

Even an iota of satisfaction

In my mind. ```

24239

```

God blesses our hearts

With satisfaction-certificates

When we become the possessor

Of adamantine determination. ```

24240

```

My mind is no longer

Knee-deep in doubt.

Why?

Because my life has become

A manifestation of God’s

Celestial Dream. ```

24241

```

My heart-home

Is full of sweet dreams.

My mind-house

Is full of painful realities. ```

24242

```

O hope-pillar of my heart,

I need you

To hold up my world of suffering.

```

24243

```

Alas, I do not know

How I can stop

The chattering of my mind-machine!

```

24244

```

If we do not cast ourselves

Entirely upon the Grace

Of our Lord Beloved Supreme,

How can we ever hope to succeed

In the battlefield of life?

```

24245

```

Even the tiniest of hopes

Can show me the way

To arrive at my goal.

```

24246

```

Is there anything more beautiful

And more fruitful than faith?

No, absolutely no!

```

24247

```

Every obedience-moment

Is a forward step

Towards my ultimate Goal.

```

24248

```

There are many defeats

In our outer life

That are definitely more fruitful

Than victories,

Especially in the inner world.

```

24249

```

Happiness is the heart

Of everything that we aspire for.

A divine child of God

Is everything that we aspire to become. ```

24250

```

To win life’s ultimate race,

What we need

Is only endurance and patience.

```

24251

```

Jealousy is totally destructive.

It even destroys itself

Before we can illumine it.

```

24252

```

Today at long last

I have opened my God-awareness,

God-readiness and God-eagerness

Floodgates. ```

24253

```

This world is bound to succeed

If all human beings

Share their God-manifestation-enthusiasm.

```

24254

```

Spirituality is, indeed, a long journey.

We must enjoy the journey

If we want to succeed.

```

24255

```

Everything changes,

And yet nothing changes:

This is what we notice

In our day-to-day outer life. ```

24256

```

There is no destructive disease

Like self-doubt.

Again, there is no effective medicine

Like God-acceptance. ```

24257

```

What is negativity?

It is something

That consciously and deliberately

Drains our mind’s energy. ```

24258

```

There is no little enemy!

Any enemy can destroy us

If we are not well-protected

By the Grace of our Lord Supreme. ```

24259

```

To dissolve hostility,

At every moment

We must remain

At the Feet of Divinity. ```

24260

```

God’s Compassion

Every day gathers us

And lifts us up

To see our own highest heights. ```

24261

```

Gratitude perfumes

Our inner life.

Confidence perfumes

Our outer life. ```

24262

```

Every day I pray to God

To come and tame my monkey-mind

With His own Hand.

```

24263

```

The most ancient, sanctified

And hallowed of shrines

Is our constant dream

Of surrender to God’s Will. ```

24264

```

If we have God-obedience,

Then we can easily ascend

God’s highest Satisfaction-Ladder.

```

24265

```

If we have God-obedience,

Then we can easily protect ourselves

Against the mind’s absurdities.

```

24266

```

When we have

Sleepless and breathless God-obedience,

God moves us

From our mind-room to our heart-palace. ```

24267

```

God is constantly seeking

A trustworthy friend.

Are you ready?

If not, when are you going to be ready? ```

24268

```

Every morning I pray to God

Only for one thing:

Just to protect the tears

Of my heart-shrine. ```

24269

```

He who surrenders

To ignorance-invasion

Will never be able to become

A self-discoverer. ```

24270

```

I shall never allow

Hesitation and uncertainty

To linger inside

My heart’s breath. ```

24271

```

Self-pity has an extraordinary capacity.

It can easily drown

Our aspiration-heart’s rising sun.

```

24272

```

Alas, when the dawn appears,

Where are my sweet dreams

Of the night?

Where do they disappear, where? ```

24273

```

Others may find the spiritual life

To be nothing short of

Mental torture.

But for me, the spiritual life

Is nothing short of

Inner and psychic rapture. ```

24274

```

My oneness-meditation-extension

Has pleased my Lord Beloved Supreme

Infinitely more

Than I could have ever imagined. ```

24275

```

Not a competition-prayer-race

But an illumination-prayer-race

With myself

Is what I need. ```

24276

```

My illumining soul

Is the call,

And my aspiring heart

Is the answer. ```

24277

```

God’s Universal Consciousness

Is the birthplace

Of God’s ever-manifesting Will.

```

24278

```

As God’s Compassion-Eye

Is approachable,

Even so, God’s Forgiveness-Feet

Are adorable. ```

24279

```

Everything may retire

Or will retire,

But not the Tolerance

Of our Lord Supreme. ```

24280

```

There will always remain

An astronomical distance

Between our mind’s doubtful way

And God’s blessingful Way. ```

24281

```

The eagerness of the aspiring heart

And the enthusiasm of the searching mind

Shall forever remain pioneers

In our Godward journey. ```

24282

```

I am eagerly waiting

For the hour of negativity’s death

In my mind.

```

24283

```

God’s own highest accomplishments

Will come

When humanity as a whole can say

Sincerely, soulfully and unconditionally:

“God for God’s sake!”

```

24284

```

I have three immortal friends:

The simplicity of my life,

The beauty of my heart

And the divinity of my soul. ```

24285

```

If you want to succeed

In your outer life

And proceed in your inner life

Every day,

Then stay always in touch

With your soul-divinity. ```

24286

```

The doubting mind believes

Only in endless complaints.

The aspiring heart believes

Only in world-inspiring compliments. ```

24287

```

The first-class student

In God’s illumination-school

Is he who cries in the inner world

For ever-increasing gratitude

And in the outer world

For ever-increasing surrender. ```

24288

```

What is transforming me

And my mind

If not God’s constant Compassion-Tears!

```

24289

```

If you live in the mind,

Problems will always remain,

For the mind is where problems begin.

```

24290

```

My ingratitude-jungle-mind

Has become almost unrecognisable

To God.

```

24291

```

Alas, we do not realise

What we are doing.

We are crying for more desires

Instead of crying

For more aspiration.

```

24292

```

If we accept

The life of unreserved surrender,

Then God will make us

Universal ambassadors of divine love. ```

24293

```

Every evening

My Lord Supreme counts

The tears of my heart,

And I count

The Smiles of His Eye.

```

24294

```

He who cries sincerely

For a flower-heart

Receives a flower-garden

From God’s own Heart. ```

24295

```

Although God is all-where,

He feels lonely

When our hearts

Are not with Him,

With their aspiration-tear-cries.

```

24296

```

Disappointment-detachment-life

Expedites our spiritual journey

Far beyond our imagination.

```

24297

```

Each time God fulfils

Our earth-bound desires,

We are compelled to enter into

Dissatisfaction-prison. ```

24298

```

Today I have opened wide

My mind-cage

To allow the doubt-vulture

To fly away.

Therefore, I am swimming

In the sea of ecstasy. ```

24299

```

If happiness exists on earth,

Then it will be found

Only in one divine virtue:

Forgiveness. ```

24300

```

May my mind

Be sleeplessly devoted

To only one thing:

God’s constant Satisfaction-Smile. ```
